Default Hacked mail

Try this:-


the spammer is making no attempt to claim their address is anything

the only yahoo address there is in the message is



however they've set the descriptive part of the send to

"Hannah ****"

which presumably matches your daughter, and obviously they know your
demon address is one she has corresponded with previously, so they know
who to spam

She (like almost every yahoo email user I know) clearly had her
accounted hacked and details hoovered from it at some time in the past.

clearly the emails you've received so far have been easy to spot, not
much you can do but keep a suspicious eye on them, or encourage her to
change email provider.
